Space Exploration

From robotic landers probing distant moons to the crewed missions pushing further than humans have gone in fifty years, this is where SpaceInfo Club tracks the push beyond Earth orbit. Coverage spans NASA, ESA and commercial missions, the engineering that gets them there, and the science they bring back.

Reporting draws on conversations with the scientists behind these missions, including astrophysicist Dr Francesca Faedi (University of Leicester, Orbital Innovation Ltd.), who studies how deep-space conditions affect the human body. See the full list of astronomers and mission scientists we’ve spoken with.

Unlike previous Artemis missions, Artemis III is designed to validate key technologies, spacecraft systems, and operational procedures that will enable sustained lunar exploration in the years ahead. The mission will involve the Orion spacecraft and commercial lunar lander systems developed by SpaceX and Blue Origin, testing the complex architecture that future lunar crews will depend upon.
